For those who don't read the comics, Chimaera is a character introduced in the Origins series who may or may not be the future CC and may or may not be a Covert Intel operative who may or may not be working for the US govt. All he claims is that his orders come down from alot higher than a general.
Thus;
In my joeverse, CC still has the same origin, car salesman, dissillusioned with govt, banks, bureaucracy etc, older brother dies in car crash ..etc.
Only, this is all a cover story. He was really a covert operative for the govt (which explains his military and strategic skills).
A clandestine arm of the govt looks at the current strategic landscape a few years ago. Realizing that wars will no longer be fought symmetrically as it was in the past due to the rise of terrorism across the globe. Also well aware of clandestine anti govt militias springing up in their own backyard, they come to the conclusion that terrorism will eventually come direct to their door step.
The govt institutes Operation
raw Venom.
A top level NSA operator is tasked with creating a front organization that will literally draw elements that are or have the potential to cause problems in the future. This operator firstly infiltrates and gains control over a local militia group called 'First Strike'.
Now with a small cadre of operators he begins 'drawing' all these elements to him; arms dealers, mercenaries, arsonists, outlaw biker gangs (Dreadnoks), anarchists, criminals and insurgents (Baroness and Firefly). At the same time, he makes contacts with terrorist groups and like minded individuals across the globe.
The idea is to get all these guys together and take them out all at once.
Problem is, the operator who adopts the name Cobra Commander begins to flourish with all this power and influence and decides to go into business for himself, getting his superiors and all those who knew about the op silenced.
so Cobra starts as a govt black bag operation that goes wrong.
I just haven't worked out how Snake eyes and the Hard Master's death fits into this new idea....yet.
I like this idea a lot. I feel that CC should have been involved with the US military or CIA somehow or another.
